The poster might appeal to some: Éric Zemmour and Christina Taubira gathered on a television set to debate.
Yes but, according to the candidate invested by the popular Primary, her invitation would have been refused by the teams of the ex-polemicist.
Invited to LCI on Tuesday, Christiane Taubira returned to these exchanges.
The door has not always been closed on the side of the far-right candidate.
The latter had even accepted the idea of such a duel for a while.
"It's when you want, Mrs. Taubira", he wrote at the end of January on Twitter.
But Christiane Taubira had finally refused.
"I considered that coming to debate with this gentleman was the legitimization of (his) word," she explained.
"I held him for the great preacher of fear, I see that he is a practitioner of fear," added the former Minister of Justice.
It's whenever you want, Mrs. Taubira.

Christiane Taubira, however, claims to have “changed her mind” after going “in the field”: “Discussing with people, they gave me to understand: “We cannot fight the battle (against the extreme right , Editor's note), deliver it on our behalf", and I said "yes".
"Aren't you going to scramble?"
“, she launched this Monday evening to Éric Zemmour on Twitter.
Aren't you going to get out?

According to the candidate, her team did submit the idea of a debate to the BFMTV channel in January, but the far-right candidate declined.
Christiane Taubira is struggling to qualify in the official race at the Élysée.
Monday's "withdrawal" of the Radical Left Party (PRG) from the campaign of the former justice minister, who failed to rally the left despite her victory in the popular primary at the end of January, could be the final blow for a candidate who stagnates at 5% or less in the voting intentions.
